Note: This is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Market Survey: This market survey is governed by the FAA's Acquisition Management (AMS) in place of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). In accordance with FAA AMS Policy 3.2.1.2.1 Market Analysis, this announcement is a Market Survey/Request for Information (RFI) for the purpose of soliciting statements of interest and capabilities from interested vendors. Responses to this announcement will be used for informational purposes only to support the development of an acquisition strategy for the contemplated On-Demand, Manager Coaching Platform. The information received will not be released, except as required under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA); proprietary information will be protected if appropriately marked. This is not a Screening Information Request or Request for Proposal. The FAA's Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Technical Operations Services (TOS) in AJW has a requirement for on-demand, mobile-based, online, mid-level manger coaching in such areas such as alignment, cognitive agility, and managing teams. Specifically, AJW would like to utilize professional coaching to help its front-line supervisors (1) shift mindsets from personal safety to airspace safety, (2) improve the ability to embrace change, and (3) become more effective leaders for their teams. Contract resources are required to provide support for professional, mobile coaching for AJW employees. The scope of this effort includes a 6-month coaching pilot for 160 managers across the AJW. Managers will have on-demand access to a coach of their choice, and coaching sessions will be conducted via a user-friendly platform accessible via smartphone, computer, or telephone. 1. Capability Statement: The FAA requests responses from industry to address their capability to meet all of the requirements in the Attachment A: Draft On-Demand, Manager Coaching Platform Statement of Work (SOW). The Capability Statement pages must not exceed fifteen (15) pages and must be written in Times New Roman font, size 12, with 1.0 inch top, bottom, and side margins. This page limit does not apply to any optional marketing materials. 2. Interested Party Information. Interested vendors should complete and submit Attachment B: Business Declaration Form in order to provide their Company Information, Business Size, and Type Category.

The NAICS code for this requirement has not been determined at this time. Responses to this market survey will assist the FAA in making decisions about any acquisition that may follow.
